Description
Lmx1a encodes a LIM homeodomain (LIM-hd) protein that is expressed in the roof plate along the neuraxis during CNS development. The Lmx1adr-J mutation replaces a conserved cysteine in the LIM1 domain of the protein with a tyrosine (Millonig et al. 2000).

Mice homozygous for Lmx1adr-Jare identifiable at birth by a thin filament extending from the end of the tail, which drops off within a few days, and a short or blunt tail. They may also have a head bleb. When fur develops, there may be a white belly spot. Lmx1adr-J/Lmx1adr-J mice are ataxic and hyperactive and have difficulty righting themselves, and they do not reproduce (Sweet and Wahlsten 1983). They also exhibit circling behavior, are deaf, and have inner ear and vertebral malformations (Manzanares et al. 2000).

Lmx1adr-J homozygotes exhibit defects of three classes of anatomic structures: the hindbrain roof plate, neural crest derived tissues, and the axial skeleton. Failure of roofplate development results in absence of dorsal interneurons of the spinal cord and of granule neurons of the cerebellar cortex and failure of the dorsal vertebral neural arches to form (Millonig et al. 2000). The cerebellum is smaller than normal, in some cases virtually absent, and exhibits disrupted foliation (Sweet and Wahlsten 1983; Sekiguchi et al. 1992). The cytoarchitectural organization of the neocortex, the hippocampus and the dentate gyrus is disrupted (Sekiguchi et al. 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996). Skeletal anomalies include abnormal neural crest derived cranial bones and improper fusion of cervical and thoracic vertebrae at the dorsal midline (Mananares et al. 2000). Deafness may be the consequence of "serious morphogenetic defects of the otic vesicle due to the dorsal neural tube abnormalities," perhaps augmented by "abnormal sensory and motor projections" in the region of rhombomeres 4-6 (Manzanares et al. 2000). Although they have no external or behavioral phenotype, 50% of heterozygotes exhibit histological pathology of the hippocampus qualitatively similar, but less extensive, than that of homozygotes (Patrylo et al. 1990).

Development
The Lmx1adr-J mutation, originally called sstJ and later known as drsst-J and as drJ, arose in the C3FeB6-A/Aw-J-ank colony in the Mouse Mutant Stocks Center at The Jackson Laboratory (Sweet and Wahlsten 1983). Since its discovery, it has been maintained by crossing ovary transplant recipients to B6C3Fe-a/a males; the black coat color of the present background makes it easy to distinguish pups derived from the transplanted ovary from any that might result from residual host ovarian tissue. Identification of the alleles for markers flanking Lmx1a in Lmx1adr-J/Lmx1adr-J progeny of B6C3Fe a/a-Lmx1adr-J/J pairs demonstrated that the mutation occurred on the C3H chromosome (Millonig et al. 2000).

Genes & Alleles

Gene & Allele Information provided by MGI

 
Allele Symbol Lmx1adr-J
Allele Name dreher Jackson
Allele Type Spontaneous
Common Name(s) sstJ;
Strain of OriginC3FeB6 A/Aw-J-Ankank/J
Gene Symbol and Name Lmx1a, LIM homeobox transcription factor 1 alpha
Chromosome 1
Gene Common Name(s) LMX1; LMX1.1; dr; dreher; shaker short-tail; sst;
Molecular Note A G-to-A transition mutation results in a conserved cysteine to a tyrosine amino acid change in the LIM1 domain of the encoded protein. The conserved cysteine is thought to be required for coordination of zinc that is essential for the function of the LIM domain, and thus the transcriptional activity of the protein. [MGI Ref ID J:60593]
 
Allele Symbol a
Allele Name nonagouti
Allele Type Spontaneous
Strain of Originold mutant of the mouse fancy
Gene Symbol and Name a, nonagouti
Chromosome 2
Gene Common Name(s) AGSW; AGTI; AGTIL; ASP; As; SHEP9; agouti; agouti signal protein; agouti suppressor;
Molecular Note Characterization of this allele shows an insertion of DNA comprised of a 5.5kb virus-like element, VL30, into the first intron of the agouti gene. The VL30 element itself contains an additional 5.5 kb sequence, flanked by 526 bp of direct repeats. The host integration site is the same as for at-2Gso and Aw-38J and includes a duplication of four nucleotides of host DNA and a deletion of 2 bp from the end of each repeat. Northern analysis of mRNA from skin of homozygotes shows a smaller agouti message and levels 8 fold lower than found in wild-type. [MGI Ref ID J:16984] [MGI Ref ID J:24934]

Supply Notes

  • Cryorecovery - Standard.
    We will fulfill your order by providing at least two pair of mice, at least one animal of each pair carrying the mutation of interest. The total number of animals provided, their gender and genotype will vary. Please inquire if larger numbers of animals with specific genotype and genders are needed. Animals typically ship between 13 and 16 weeks from the date of your order. If a second cryorecovery is needed in order to provide the minimum number of animals, animals will ship within 25 weeks. IMPORTANT NOTE: The genotypes of animals provided may not reflect the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation, or that discussed in the strain description. Please inquire about possible genotypes which will be recovered for this specific strain. The Jackson Laboratory cannot guarantee the reproductive success of mice shipped to your facility. If the mice are lost after the first three days (post-arrival) or do not produce progeny at your facility, a new order and fee will be necessary.

    Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice.
    Mice recovered can be used to establish a dedicated colony to contractually supply you mice according to your requirements. Price by quotation. For more information on Dedicated Supply, please contact JAX® Services, Tel: 1-800-422-6423 (from U.S.A., Canada or Puerto Rico only) or 1-207-288-5845 (from any location).

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise

The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project.
